As you may know by the time you read this that B.B. King passed away Thursday evening in Las Vegas around 9:40pm local time on May 14th, 2015.  A combination of a small bout of insomnia & a desire to deliver a fresh show in partial tribute to this legend, I decided to work overnight to put that together.

The first or so hour is all B.B. King.  The second hour is music that would have inspired B.B & almost any blues musician.

I hope you enjoy this small detour & devotion to a master.

May the Mississippi keep flowing…
